[Matplotlib-users] computer modern

[Nicolas P. <nic...@gm...>]

Hi,

is there any way to use Computer Modern in any text in matplotlib ?

In http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/customizing.html, I read the 
following :

#font.serif          : Bitstream Vera Serif, New Century Schoolbook, Century Schoolbook L, Utopia, ITC Bookman, Bookman, Nimbus Roman No9 L, Times New Roman, Times, Palatino, Charter, serif
#font.sans-serif     : Bitstream Vera Sans, Lucida Grande, Verdana, Geneva, Lucid, Arial, Helvetica, Avant Garde, sans-serif
#font.cursive        : Apple Chancery, Textile, Zapf Chancery, Sand, cursive
#font.fantasy        : Comic Sans MS, Chicago, Charcoal, Impact, Western, fantasy
#font.monospace      : Bitstream Vera Sans Mono, Andale Mono, Nimbus Mono L, Courier New, Courier, Fixed, Terminal, monospace

So, Computer Modern is not listed there.

However, Computer Modern is used in mathtext, so I suppose there is a 
way to use it also in plain text, but I can't figure it...

I tried :
/mpl.rc('font', family = 'serif', serif = 'computer modern roman')/
but it did not work.

Thanks a lot,

Nicolas P.

The name of the Computer Modern Roman font that ships with matplotlib is 
"cmr10", so

   mpl.rc('font', family = 'serif', serif = 'cmr10')

should work.

Thanks, it works well.

However, I forgot that computer modern does not include accented 
characters (unlike latin modern), so I eventually used Stix :

mpl.rc('font', family = 'serif', serif = 'STIXGeneral')

By the way, is there any way to use Stix for sans-serif as well, or even 
cursive and monospace ? I don't know how to do that, since Stix seems to 
contain all of them in a single file (STIXGeneral.ttf) ?

There's no easy way to do what you ask.  You can, however, use math mode 
to get to those characters in STIX.  For example, set mathtext.fontset 
to "stix" and then:

  r'$\mathcal{Caligraphic} \mathtt{Monospace}$'
